Field notes
The homepage lists 97 cities with a full fee total, 99 more with impact fees verified, and 1,349 fees tied to city documents. Its described workflow reads posted fee schedules, shows arithmetic with formulas and assumptions, and says it rechecks source documents weekly; site-work prices come from public winning-bid tabs. Coverage is uneven by metro: Dallas–Fort Worth lists 14 of 65 cities published, Phoenix 7 of 21, and Denver 5 of 24.
